Precious Little Snowflakes At Columbia Law School

Allow me to go on record saying
that I am traumatized by the fact that I am not a billionaire recluse
luxuriating in champagne wishes and caviar dreams, but I soldier on.

Columbia Law School is permitting
students claiming to be impaired due
to the emotional impact of recent non-indictments in the Michael Brown and Eric
Garner matters to postpone
taking their final exams. [Emphasis
mine]

Eugene Volkokh believes
“fortitude in the face of injustice is a pretty important trait for lawyers to
have, and for law schools to cultivate. Where would the civil rights movement
have been if civil rights lawyers were so traumatized by injustice that they
couldn’t function effectively without deadline extensions? Where would a lawyer
today be if, faced with a verdict—even in one of his own cases, and not just
elsewhere—that he thought horribly unjust, he was so overcome with ‘grief’ that
he couldn’t perform effectively?”

These precious little snowflakes will
be lucky to be licking stamps in some lowly legal aid office. Cowards never tire of cowering.
